Very nice @Dovefromabove. Looks like it's been through a shredder Tulips not out yet here, apart from the species ones. Looking forward to the ones I bought last year, which are also fringy. I was wondering where you might be @wendymadre - with all those clematis in flower! Lovely. Bluebells are so early further south - they don't get going until end of April/May here. They always look splendid when there's a huge spread of them.
I forgot about this thread last week - when my RTBC was a little coal tit in the front garden, picking up little bits of fluffy stuff for a nest. I timed it perfectly, walked round just in time to see him/her. A very small, simple pleasure, but it made my day
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

Wisteria nearly in full bloom. I have some Parrot tulips Dove that have fringed petals, both two tone pink ones and a nearly black form. Undecided about them but they keep coming up!
I bought some parrot tulips for that bed a couple of years back, but they're not out yet ... I really don’t remember buying anything as frilly as that one tho.

I have a yen for the white fringed tulips... a great combination of OTT and purity... seen them in municipal displays but didn't find any for sale last autumn. Maybe next year!
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
The ones I bought last year are V. van Gogh, which should be dark and fringed, but I doubt that's what I've got. The tips are just colouring up , and they're very orangey yellow looking. Maybe yours are 'infiltrating' @Dovefromabove .....
